STAFF REPORT
On October 6, 1986, the Mayor and Common Council adopted
Agenda Item No. 32a, Ordinance No. MC-551. That ordinance
amended the policy and procedures with respect to secondary
means of access within the high fire hazard area.
That Agenda also contained Item No. 32b, which related to
policies and procedures with respect to secondary access
outside the high fire hazard area. This ordinance was
referred back to the City Attorney to ensure that the law
with respect to secondary access outside the high fire hazard area
remains the same as that currently in force.
To ensure that the law with respect to secondary access outside
the high fire hazard remains the same as is currently in force
and, to ensure consistency with the language of the Ordinance
No. MC-551, the language of Ordinance No. MC-551 has been incor-
porated with the current provisions for secondary access outside
the high fire hazard area to form a new ordinance. This
ordinance is submitted for your approval today.
